Chapter 1

Draco's Little Crush

Draco couldn't sleep Hermione wasn't letting him. "Why do I have to like you Hermione? I wish that you would at least not be the head girl so I could be head boy without you!" He thought to himself. Finally was falling asleep there was a tapping noise on his large bay window. Draco threw aside the covers and slid out of bed and into his slippers. Tap tap tap. He opened his curtains to find his fathers owl, it had no name Lucius wasn't the type to get attached to an owl. Draco opened the window and the owl flew in. "You really should learn to try not to wake up the whole school when you tap on my window!" Draco said as he took the letter from the owl and opened it.

Draco,

I assume that school is well. I hear that Granger is the head girl, I hope that you take every chance you can to annoy her. The dark lord wants to meet with you, so you must tell me when you find out when the first trip to Hogsmede. At that time you must meet the dark lord and I at the usual place. But that must not be discussed in this letter, it is too easy to intercept.

Write back now,

Lucius M.

Draco hated it, his father thought he could control Draco's every thought, his every move. But he couldn't Draco Hated his father. Just then the owl squawked, expecting Draco to write a reply.

"You stupid owl! You expect me to return his letter! I will not, so shoo!" The owl flew off squawking his hatred of Draco on his way out. Draco then slammed the window shut.

"Why does my father do this to me!" He exclaimed quietly to himself as her heard a hard knock on the door.

"MALFOY!" Hermione yelled angrily "OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!"

Draco walked over and opened the door slowly.
"Why are you up this late sending owls out into the night! Can't you see it 2 am!" Hermione spat at him "Now half the school is probably up! And do you even remember you have patrol duty tomorrow night and you have classes all day! GO TO SLEEP! The rest of the night…and NO EXCUSES!" Hermione shut the door and stomped over to her room. If the people below us were still asleep she just woke them up.

When Draco woke up the light was pouring through the window. He turned over and looked at the clock on his black bedside table 10:00 am too late for breakfast. Draco got dressed and walked elegantly down the steps into the common room where Hermione was sitting doing next months homework.

"Why were you up so late last night?" Hermione pounded her questions on to him.

"That's none of your business mudblood!" He shot back "and anyway why do you care! I mean the only thing you heard was my father's owl leaving!"

"Well I was just worried that you might be sending out suicide letters! The way that owl was squawking! You really should teach your owl to be quiet! Half the school was up after that ear deafening squawk!"

"Well at least I don't snore! Really mudblood you should get that check out! It is horrid how bad it is!" Draco hated treating Hermione this way, but if he didn't she might find out that he liked her. And then she might tell the whole school which would make him the laughingstock of the school!

Squawk! Squawk!

Draco's father's owl slammed in to the common room window sliding down ungracefully onto the window ledge.

"That stupid bird doesn't even know how to land quietly!" Draco said and then cursed quietly under his breath.

"That stupid bird needs to leave you alone! It leaves you angry, and vicious!" Hermione yelled as Draco stomped up into his room. When Draco got there he sighed and slid down his door into a sitting position.

"Oh why, why, why? I hate it! I can barley talk to her any more! She stares at me with those big brown eyes! Maybe I could just resign from my duties as head boy and go home!" Draco said sadly almost in tears "I just doesn't matter anymore, she will never love me like I love her! She loves that stupid Weaslebee!" Draco ran to his dresser where he kept his emergency Teddy Bear then he ran to his black and green bed and laid down for a nap. In Draco's naptime dream he dreamt about Hermione

Draco sat elegantly on the couch waiting for Hermione to come back from her class

"What is taking so long? I want to confess today!" Draco said exasperated

Hermione walked in crying.

"I hope you're happy! Those stupid rumors really hurt me! Grow Up!" She said between sobs

"MALFOY!" Hermione screamed at him startling him awake. "What's with teddy bear? Your 16 you should have grown out of that 10 years ago! Your such a baby!" Draco could scream and shout at that moment but didn't it would make him seem uncool.

"Well, Mudblood," He hated calling her that "it takes one to know one!" Hermione looked like she could cry.

"Well if you feel that strongly about my blood then I'll just resign my post as head girl!"

"No Hermione don't do that, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you." Draco said a little too quickly

'Dangit!' Draco thought to himself 'im showing emotion! Now she's gonna think I like her and then if it turns out she doesn't like me I don't know how I could deal with it! But then if she likes me what do I do? I've never had a serious relationship thing like she would want! We could try but it would never work with us!'

"MALFOY!" Draco snapped into reality "I asked you a question now answer it!"

"what did you ask me?" Draco said Trying to sound icy "Mudblood? He added for effect.

"Why do you sound so nice? You hate me!" Hermione pounded on him.

"How do you know I hate you? I mean maybe I secretly like you but don't want you to know?"

'CRAP! I shouldn't have said that, I really shouldn't have said that!' Draco thought to himself 'now she knows! She will never talk to me again!'

"Draco? Are you saying that you like me? That's great because I kinda like you too!" Hermione said saying the last sentence very quietly.

"well I kinda like you. But I never thought you would have liked me?" Draco said defensively.

"Well, I have liked you for a while now…I just didn't want to say anything, I thought you might use it against me!" Hermione said still defending herself.

'Kiss her you stupid fool! She just said she likes you and she looks shaken it's the perfect time!' Draco thought. 'lean in and kiss her fool! Do it! Do it NOW!'

Draco leaned in and kissed Hermione lightly.
